Chapter 45 Sapphire's request!
Zhu Yunxi in the previous life once read "On the Monarch".

It's just that too much time has passed and the memory has gradually become blurred.

However, he clearly remembered one thing.

In The Theory of Princes, it is particularly emphasized that a monarch must be cruel, have his own majesty, and be feared by his subjects in order to establish effective rule.

Once the subjects lose their respect for the monarch, the monarch loses the basis for ruling.

Zhu Yunxi went back to the mansion in a carriage.

As soon as he entered, someone came to report that Lord Liang Lanyu had been waiting in the mansion for a long time.

"Meet the grandson of the Four Emperors."

In a gazebo in the mansion, he saw Lan Yu.

Compared with the previous Juao, Lan Yu's attitude towards him has indeed changed a little, and he is much more respectful.

But Zhu Yunxi didn't give him a good look, and kept his face sullen, without saying a word.

Sapphire's complexion also changed slightly.

With his status in the court, no one has ever dared to be so rude to him.

Both the kings and ministers were polite to him.

When Zhu Biao was alive, he was very respected.

Although Zhu Yunxi had pointed out himself before, he can't just be so arrogant, right?
No matter what, he is the uncle of the other party. Are the basic etiquette of respecting elders gone?
This made Sapphire's face a little uneasy, and she resisted the attack.

"You all retreat." Sapphire told the maids and eunuchs who were waiting around.

The maids and eunuchs saluted and wanted to wait.

"Wait!" Zhu Yunxi yelled.

"Everything should be said to others. Uncle and grandpa, we act openly, so why should we avoid talking to others."

Lan Yu was stunned, and seeing that there was deep meaning in Zhu Yunxi's eyes, she nodded and said, "Alright!"

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to directly explain his intention.

"Your Majesty asked Jiang Yu to come to my house today and kill the Taoist priest who helped me make alchemy."

"What is the meaning of this, Your Majesty?"

He didn't understand that if according to Zhu Yunzhen's previous analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang should be happy to see him refining elixirs, why did he send someone to kill the Taoist priest?

Zhu Yunxuan raised his head and looked at him. Instead of answering his question, he asked, "Are you refusing guests and practicing alchemy behind closed doors, or are you inviting friends?"

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said after a long while: "Over the years, I have become accustomed to drinking and eating meat with everyone. When I am refining alchemy, I will naturally have friends over."

"Let's eat, drink and chat together, watch the Taoist master make alchemy, and share the way of keeping in good health."

"It really makes me practice alchemy behind closed doors, then I can't stand it, isn't that the same as going to jail?"

Zhu Yunxuan said "oh", turned around and left without saying a word.

There is no cure for death with medicine, and there is no cure for death with medicine.

Sapphire himself wanted to seek death, so he had no choice.

"you……"

Sapphire's anger rose little by little.

Ever since Zhu Yunxuan saw him, he has been putting on airs, what kind of attitude is this!
If it was before, Sapphire would definitely walk away.

But today is different from the past, he suppressed his temper.

"I really don't know about the Bu family."

Seeing that Zhu Yunxuan didn't want to talk about his elders, Lan Yu felt that he was a little scrupulous and didn't want to talk about His Majesty's attitude, and didn't bother, but talked about the Bu family's affairs.

"The expenses in the government are very large. I did ask the Bu family to help me with business, but it was all legal business."

"I didn't know that the Bu family actually carried me behind their backs and used my name to run rampant outside, exploiting the common people and oppressing good people."

Zhu Yunxi stopped and didn't look back, and replied in a childish voice: "Since uncle doesn't know, then don't ask."

"Grandpa Huang has handed over this case to me for trial. I will not wrongly accuse a good person."

"I know." Lan Yu nodded and said: "The Fourth Emperor's grandson hates evil and will definitely enforce the law impartially, but..."

He hesitated for a while, and finally made up his mind, saying: "Although the Bu family has done a lot of evil things, except for offending His Highness, the other things are not too big."

"I would like to ask the four emperors and grandsons to raise their hands. For my...no...for the sake of your third brother Yunxi, let them go."

"Hold them up high, put them down gently, convict them of a misdemeanor, and expose them."

"After all, everyone knows that they are my people who help me. If I don't protect them. If they are convicted of a felony, how can others dare to follow me in the future?"

Zhu Yunxi twisted his body bit by bit, looked back at Lan Yu seriously, and asked, "Do you have many friends?"

"There are some!" Lan Yu said: "We who lead troops in war must have a group of our own people to control the army."

"I have adopted hundreds of adopted sons and many other people. They all work for me and are my people."

"Bu Sibei of the Bu family is also my adopted son. I know that he and his son have collided with you before."

"But as long as you let them go, after they come out, I can beat them both to death with family law."

"I'm not trying to help them get away with it, I just want to save face."

"Even if my uncle accepts you as a favor for this matter, my uncle will bear it in mind."

"You think if there is anything, let your third brother Yunxi tell me, as long as I can do it, I will do it."

Lan Yu rarely asks for help.

He has always been arrogant and unwilling to be condescending to anyone.

Let alone bowing to a seven-year-old.

Today, Lao Zhu sent someone to beat the Taoist priest to death, which made him panic.

The two cases of the Bu family were always on his mind.

These days, his adoptive sons have blown a lot of wind in his ears.

It's not that he has deep feelings for the Bu family father and son, but if the Bu family father and son are convicted of ransacking the house like this, then his blue jade face will be ruined.

It depends on the owner to beat the dog!
He hadn't found a chance to intercede before, so since he came today, he wanted to talk about it.

Zhu Yunxi looked at Lan Yu, the childish clear and bright eyes were full of strangeness and indifference.

Sapphire was a little puzzled, unable to understand what he meant.

She is obviously a little doll, but sometimes she looks calmer than an adult.

If it weren't for the occasional jumping, crying and mischievous behavior, coupled with his small figure and immature face, people would probably forget that he is a child.

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand, looked at Lan Yu's head, weighed his feet, and made a gesture from a distance.

This move made Lan Yu even more confused, and Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

From the time they started talking to the present, they have not sat down, but have been standing.

Zhu Yunxi raised his face, Lan Yu lowered his head.

Zhu Yunxuan turned his head and said to an eunuch not far away, "Come here and pick me up."

The surrounding maids and eunuchs all looked dumbfounded, and so did that eunuch.

But he dared not disobey His Royal Highness' orders.

He stepped forward and hugged Zhu Yunxi.

"Hold him higher and hold him in front of him." Zhu Yunxu pointed at Lan Yu and said.

The eunuch walked forward until he came to Lan Yu.

At this time, Zhu Yunxi was picked up high, but the height of his head was higher than that of Lan Yu.

Sapphire doesn't know why.

What kind of drama is he singing?

Just about to ask, at this time, Zhu Yunxi stretched out her fat little hand, let out a sigh of relief, then swung her little arm, raised it high, and slammed forward.

"Snapped!"

An incomparably loud slap slapped Lan Yu's face hard.
